[QUOTE="SRL, post: 191259, member: 701"] Hi C. Thanks for your concern for your friend. I am going to move your thread to the General Board so you'll get age-appropriate responses. Personally I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that this is a scarily disturbed child. It sounds to me like an undiagnosed and untreated child. I do agree that she needs help as there is some atypical behavior going on. Picking a scab and playing in the blood isn't something many kids this age would do in public, but one who wasn't in tune socially might. Ditto with sitting alone in a room and not engaging with people. Does she have any friends? How about similar interests as her peers? Head banging, pulling out hair, and picking scabs all raise my red flag for sensory integration issues. Do you know if she's super sensitive to clothing or is a very picky eater? There could be a lot of things going on here, so if you were the parent I would suggest pursuing an evaluation. [/QUOTE]
